I gave the photo because this typically Asian species was caught in the Dominican Republic, where it has multiplied enormously( 2 years ago I did not meet any). Brought from the Greater Antilles, how it was brought there is unknown( de javu with Dryas iulia, only vice versa). Also, there was another "alien"- P. androgeus, but it was observed by me before. Apparently, it is replacing the local types of sailboats. I didn't meet battus and aristodemus (((
